jQuery UI Datepicker --everything but the "look"

Hi - I'm new to javascript and started to play with jQuery by accident. Mind you - I am not writing Javascript. Only re-using what is already available in the Jquery framework (that's a new word for me :-).

I'm trying to understand and use a UI Datepicker (see link below) . I tried the code provided and the basic Datepicker appeared. But I need to have every element, all the scripts and css files, on my own hard drive to use this in a demo I'm building. I won't be able to link to jquery.com for anything.

After downloading all of the scripts and css files which the demo used,including all the ones it linked by "@import" I would get the "data" of the DP but none of the appearance. How do I get the graphics to appear? What am I missing?

TIA your jQuery expertise.

// this is where I started...http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Datepicker// I downloaded all of these and what they @imported ...http://jqueryui.com/latest/themes/base/ui.all.csshttp://jqueryui.com/latest/jquery-1.3.2.jshttp://jqueryui.com/latest/ui/ui.core.jshttp://jqueryui.com/latest/ui/ui.datepicker.js@import "ui.base.css"@import "ui.theme.css"@import url("ui.core.css");@import url("ui.datepicker.css");

You are actually missing the images linked from the CSS files (these are relative URLs, which doesn't exist on your machine). Basically, you'll need to download the UI library (as per the above comment), make sure that you selected 'UI Core', extract the contents and import the following CSS in your HTML:

No, there won't be any conflicts. Your download from jqueryui.com actually includes JQuery JS (1.3.2) in addition to the UI Components (Ver 1.7.1).

The animation functionality that you are talking about doesn't have any dependencies on the UI components. It just requires JQuery JS.

If you extract the ZIP file you downloaded from jqueryui.com, you'll find the following files we are interested in:
\css\smoothness\jquery-ui-1.7.1.custom.css
\js\jquery-1.3.2.min.js
\js\jquery-ui-1.7.1.custom.min.js

Import these 3 files in your HTML. Rest assured that it will take care of your Calendar as well as animated DIVs.
